This is one of the best caning tutorials I have seen. I've tried caning 'ESKIS' and they turned out 'UGLI'. This gives such clear cut instructions, it takes the mystery out of it. Thanks Cindy. I have read and read and searched for caning articles and this is the best. Thanks.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Cindy - you ROCK!!! I've got my pirate cane all put together and it's resting before I reduce it... WOOOHOOO!!! :) I'm also starting a black and white one too... heh heh! I haven't been this excited about poly clay and my jewelry making in a while. Peace, Love and Clay.

NEWS FASHION FLASH: My 20 year old daughter Elizabeth i still at that age where she does not know if it is”Okay” to actually like something MOM made.. She was looking at my Pirate beads and I said the are supposed to be “distorted”-mine actual had about 20 teeth-LOL. The nnew in term for that is “stylized.” Sounds intentional and more expensive- Who Knew !!
Awesome comment Anna! ‘Stylized’ is the perfect description for a cane of ‘character’ like this one. Glad to hear you made yourself a pirate cane. Would love to see it. Why don’t you post a picture at the Members Photo Gallery at Facebook? I bet there are a lot of other who would like to see your stylized rendition of the pirate cane!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Cindy – you ROCK!!! I’ve got my pirate cane all put together and it’s resting before I reduce it… WOOOHOOO!!! I’m also starting a black and white one too… heh heh! I haven’t been this excited about poly clay and my jewelry making in a while. :)

Hi Lisa!
When Cindy first announced this video tute, my first thought was of YOU! I remembered that you were especially fond of her pirate beads & jewelry, and that you made requests for this tute more than once (I think?) If memory serves, you made this cane on your own, right? (with too much waste clay or something?) Anyway, I’m thrilled about your enthusiasm! Makes me even more excited about this cool cane!
I’ll be on the lookout, hoping to see your canes – and what you make with them – on Facebook. Take care, my friend!
~Kat ;-D
What a wonderful tutorial! Seems like we’ve been asking Cindy how to make her cool pirate cane for over a year now. I gotta say…it was worth the wait! Not only did she simplify the process, making the cane easy enough for a beginner; she also provided some amazing tips that can be used on all sorts of caning projects. Like the way she packed the background — ingenious! What a clever, precise way of packin’.
Thank you, Cindy…you really know how to entertain a gal (and teach ‘er, too…of course!)
~Kat ;-D
P.S.: Forgot who mentioned it first, but I just wanted to say I love the glow-in-the-dark (GITD) clay idea! Very clever…
P.P.S.: I also love Elaine’s comment. She speaks excellent Pirate!
I have 1/2 bar of glow in the dark. Now, where the heck is it ? Ahh, now my pirates will glow. What a neat idea. The kids will love it !!!
Hi Elaine Love your comments. no I dont know that either,
but fun being here.

Loved your comment!!
Hi Cindy
Can I use the Fimo glow in the dark for the basic parts of the pirate can with out any compromise in the strength of the cane. I would use regular premo white to fill in the spaces….. Do I do the squeeze, stretch and pull technique to reduce this cane…
Yes Natalie, you can use Fimo Glow in the Dark or even Sculpey III GITD clay in your cane if you want. The clay needs to be the same consistency though, so you may need to soften one clay and leach another to get the to the same softness. Otherwise it won’t reduce properly. And yes you squeeze and pull to reduce this cane like the others I have shown you.
Which do I do with which…How do I leach how do I soften? I get confused with this.
Natalie, many of the questions you ask (including this one) are answered best in the Polymer Clay Basics Course. You should consider purchasing it. It would really help you build your polymer clay skills and solve any issues you are having in the learning process.
Wow Cindy! Wonderful cane and once again you solved so many things that I have been struggling with. Thanks, Cassie
You made this so easy ! I invisioned it a lot harder !!Thanks for the packing. What fun. Tonight will be a “clay night”. Beads of Courage here we come………….
Well, shiver me timbers me hearties! Just knew me trusty cutlass would come in handy a slicing of that pirate cane.
Trouble is some scurvy knave has raided me treasure chest and made off with all me white clay, Grrrrrrr (Will make him walk the plank when I lay me hands on ‘im)
Must send a message in a bottle for new supplies (Could take some time)
Naw, can’t wait that long, will send the cabin boy over to the mainland, hoping he don’t run off with me pieces of eight!
Me heartfelt thanks to you Capt’ Cindy and yer crew for this long awaited, really amazing, Pirate Cane.
Cheers xx …………………Now off to splice the Mainbrace (Anyone know how to do it??)
LOL Actually, I do know how but kinda rusty.
Love this…..and I also liked learning more about packing around. It sure was better your way than what I had imagined. Thanks!!!
OT Has anyone heard from the men from our group? Hope all is well.
Hi Cindy and all.
Thanks Cindy for the video re the Pirate Cane.
Interesting to watch.
Also shows how to fill in for other canes where filled spaces are needed.
Enjoyed it.
Will have a go at this.
Still watching.
Love to all
p.s. I like how we can edit this now great.

Ahoy maties! Lookin’ forward to seeing the assembly of this cool cane, along with tips/tricks Cindy always seems to come up with. Fun stuff! :-)
Typing too slow on my phone, so edit didn’t work in time. Can’t watch the teaser video on it; & therefore, comment on the contents. I’ll definitely be grabbing for my laptop come midnight or so when the tute goes live. Boy-oh-boy…can’t wait ’til the new player works on my phone like the old one did/does!
Anyway, thanks in advance, Lietz’s!!! Eight hours ’til “Happy Friday!” ;~D
I cant wait for 8:10am Friday when my weekly tute arrives. Bring it on Cindy!
Eager to see your spin on putting this together. Seems like a lot parts…..lol.
